Semi-hollow PK Solid Body: Which GTL is Your Cup of Tea?

I don't know if you've noticed, but Glarry GTL style electric guitars come in two completely different construction bodies: semi-hollow and solid. Since their release, each has had a loyal following with a definite musical style. Despite some similarities, the body construction and tone of these two electric guitars are very different.

The differences in sound between the two bodies are still very noticeable. Click on the videos below to hear how they each sound.

• 

  The semi-hollow design is the perfect blend of acoustic and electric properties. F-hole provides an airy, warm tone over traditional GTL tones and produces a slight hoarse sound that can handle a bit more gain without producing disruptive levels of feedback.

• 

  Because the density of the wood contributes to the sustain and also makes solidbody more resistant to feedback from pickups, GTL solid guitar has a longer sustain and a tighter low end. Combined with SS pickups, it produces a very bright, thin and crisp sound.

The detailing on these two bodies is slightly different.

These details include the shape and color of the pickguard, the layout of the volume, tone and switch controls, and the availability of a unilateral.
